Beautiful part of the UK – stunning scenery, blue seas, smugglers coves, hidden beaches, picturesque villages, quaint harbours, mysterious ruins, cream teas, terrifyingly small country roads, campsites-a-plenty. Or maybe I read too much Enid Blyton as a child.

Fantastic place to go. Absolutely huge, too much to see in one visit. Love the whole ethos of the place.

The most gorgeous city on the planet. So beautiful. So romantic. So unique. So not suitable for toddlers, darn it.

Usually has a good exhibition on the ground floor, along with the permanent collections upstairs. Everything from ancient Egypt, animals, gipsy caravan, more paintings than you can shake a stick at… Family fun days organised each month – um it’s usually best to avoid these as it gets kinda busy. Very decent cafe (always my priority). My son especially likes shutting himself into the luggage lockers, not sure whether that’s technically part of the attraction, but hey, when you’re 3 these things count.

Yes, the climbing centre is pretty cool, even if like me you just sit on the balcony and watch all the athletic types. However, the real reason for going to St Werburghs has to be the city farm. Kids love seeing the animals, and the adventure playground, while grown-ups like the fantastic cafe (Wed-Sun) – chance to enjoy a cuppa while the littluns romp about outside.
